Hello friends. Do you know if BRESSER company produced binoculars with the name HUNTER 10x50? I purchaced the binoculars, but there is no sign of producer. It looks like a vintage model. Thank you.

There were almost certainly more companies who offered binos called "Hunter". Like this one.
Besides, I'm pretty certain "Bresser" was always just a brand name and they never made any binos themselves -- similar to "Eschenbach", "Revue", "Beroflex" and many other brands. There are Komz 8x30 binoculars sold as "Bresser"
(Bresser"Carat" Fernglass, alt, 8x30, 5-Linser,148m/1000m, gebraucht | eBay), the same bino was sold as "Revue" (Russisches Fernglas Zenit KOMZ BPC 5 БПЦ-5 8x30 als Revue gelabelt | eBay) and most of the older Bresser were standard Japanese binoculars. Nowadays cheapo Chinese products.
 
Hi no marks at all
There are some but the pic is too bad to read them. You can see it faintly on the left side slightly to the right of the screw that fixes the cover of the prism cage. It might be a "22" but I cannot really decipher it. Those numbers tell you which Japanese company has made the binocular. The "JB"-number is the manufacturer of the optics and the "JE" is the manufacturer of the body.
There are tons of infos about manufacturer codes and logos on this website:
 
Hello I tried to make the photo more clear and now the marking looks like something in japanese or a trademark. I will try to find out what does it mean according to what you wrote. Thank you.
